1985

The 1985 Corvette promos were manufactured by MPC (Model Products Corporation). There weren't any notable body or interior changes from 1984 to 1985. The bodies were molded as one piece of plastic with a separate hood. The underside of the hood had 4 plastic pins. These plastic pins slid into 4 alignment holes in the main body. The plastic pins were melted to permanently attach the hood to the body. This was done before the cars were painted. The bodies were molded in light blue plastic and painted "Light Blue Metallic". The interior tub, seats, dash, shifter and steering wheel were all separate pieces and not painted. These parts were glued together to form the interior assembly. The clear plastic windows and interior assembly were inserted into the underside of the body after it was painted. Only the front grilles and wheels were chrome plated. The tail lights were translucent red plastic. The rear license plate was molded into the rear bumper and read "1985". The front license plate read "CORVETTE". The wheels resembled 16" polished alloy wheels with center caps (all 1984-1987 Corvette promos had the same style wheel). The blackwall tires had "GOODYEAR" "CUSTOM WIDE TREAD POLYGLAS" molded into the sidewall (all 1975-1988 Corvette promos had the same style tire). The chassis was like the 1984s and attached to the body with 4 bright plated straight head screws with spiral threads.

Boxes: The 1985 Corvette promos came in plain white unmarked boxes.

Note: There are various shades of "Light Blue Metallic".

Note: The factory paint on most 1985 Corvette promos was somewhat dull.

Note: The interiors of C4 Corvette promos are very easy to interchange. This website shows all the factory interior/exterior combinations for 1984-1996 Corvette Promos. Any combination not shown on this website was altered after it left the factory.
